Offer a Variety of Wine Choices

Your wedding guests may have a personal preference when it comes to different wines. Although in general, most people prefer dry wines rather than sweet wines. Red and white wines can be enjoyed throughout the reception, whereas sparkling wine is usually served during a toast or the cocktail hour.When both white and red wine is available, your guests will be able to drink what goes best with their specific meal, or what they prefer. It is most commonly known that white wines pair best with fish and chicken, and red wines go hand-in-hand with rich meats. Sauvignon blanc and pinot noir are great choices for weddings. They both go well with a variety of meals. Wines like chardonnay and merlot, although delicious, may overwhelm the food that is served..

Buying Wine for Your Wedding

Wine that is served at your wedding reception can either be supplied by you or your caterer. You can inquire with your caterer about cost. Most often caterers will simply include it with your bar bill. Allowing your caterer to provide the wine may come at an extra cost. But, it will be one less thing for you to worry about on your big day.Alternatively, you can purchase the wine yourself direct from your favourite Niagara winery. If you provide the wine yourself, your caterer will most likely charge you a corking fee per bottle. It can be beneficial to generate an estimate of either option and see what is most beneficial for you.
